“Our roster of world-class speakers, combined with our global presence and growing prestige as premier aggregator of original thought leadership content, creates a unique value proposition for our community of senior technology executives,” says Hunter Muller, Founder, President and CEO of HMG Strategy, a recognized leader in executive thought leadership, independent research and executive career acceleration. “We attract top executives and respected leaders from the world’s pre-eminent organizations, providing opportunities for acquiring knowledge, peer-to-peer networking, personal growth and career ascent that are simply unmatched by our competitors.”

This year’s schedule included 30-plus summits in major technology markets, including New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Boston, Menlo Park, Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, San Diego, Charlotte, Detroit, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Greenwich, St. Louis, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Toronto, and London. Next year’s schedule will include live events in those cities, plus an expanded schedule of webinars and exclusive in-person meetings for select groups of senior executive leaders.

HMG Strategy's Executive Leadership Summits generated record attendance and record revenues in 2018. Individual attendance and revenue records were set at the Summit of America in New York, the Global Innovation Summit in Menlo Park, the Atlanta CIO Executive Leadership Summit, the Southern California CIO Executive Leadership Summit in Huntington Beach, the London CIO Executive Leadership Summit, and the Philadelphia CIO Executive Leadership Summit.

Revenue generated through HMG Strategy's award-winning Digital Platform, including co-branded white papers, webinars, blog posts, case studies and other content, more than doubled in 2018. New sponsors that contributed to this growth include Darktrace, HCL Technologies, Magenic, Onapsis, SAP, SecurityScorecard, and Windsor Group.

“Our 2018 summit theme – ‘Lead, Reimagine, Reinvent – Building a Customer-Centric Organization in Highly Disruptive Times’ dovetails nicely with our 2019 summit theme – ‘Future State 2025 – Driving the Digital Roadmap to a Customer-Centric Enterprise’, says Muller. “Forward-thinking technology executives must be focused on working closely with the CEO and the Board of Directors to envision and execute on developing the future state for the business in order to deliver on customer and shareholder expectations.”

“The scale and scope of our research offerings have increased dramatically and substantially,” Muller says. “The range and value of opportunities we create for our audience is breathtaking. We are genuinely grateful and deeply proud of our achievements in 2018, and we look forward to even great success in 2019.”
